The Treasure 2! mod adds new rarity treasure chests for discovery secured by assorted locks that can only be unlocked via finding their corresponding keys.

2. Shield Break
Shield Break improves combat by replacing the default shield mechanics with a new system based on shield durability, incoming damage, and weapon type. A well-timed parry can fully block an attack, and some weapons can cause a shield cooldown.

3. Locks
Locks introduces a unique lock picking mechanic, where locks can be dynamically attached to multi-block formations. Chests can spawn with locks attached that can be picked or removed. Master keys can be used in creative mode to toggle any lock in the game.
4. No Tree Punching
The No Tree Punching mod makes things more realistic by removing Minecraft’s tree punching mechanic. Blocks don’t just drop themselves if you don’t have the right tool for the job. Early game tools like pickaxes, hoes, and shovels can be crafted from flint.

6. Scape and Run: Parasites
This Scape and Run: Parasites mod is a dark survival horror mod that adds hostile parasitic creatures that learn from their fights and evolve into deadlier forms. These creepy parasites can be found anywhere and don’t burn during the day. Zombies and skeletons are even scared of them.
7. Advanced Hook Launchers
Advanced Hook Launchers offers different hooks with unique abilities like climbing, abseiling, and pulling in entities. The mod has advanced and realistic physics properties, and you can configure the hooks’ properties to your liking.
